Let's talk about it when the time comes!

They ate and drank, and it was about an hour and a bit.

After it ended.

They all came out of the restaurant.

Lin Mo then remembered—didn't Yang Mi say she had a mysterious gift to give?

Where is it?

Seeing Lin Mo's reaction, Yang Mi and Re Ba both laughed.

Yang Mi said: "Boss Lin, look at that car ahead."

She said, and pressed the car key once.

Lin Mo looked in the direction Yang Mi indicated.

Nice ride!

A little golden mascot, a Rolls-Royce!

Although Lin Mo isn't much into cars, he still recognizes this car's emblem.

Yang Mi said: "Originally, I didn't know what gift to get you, but thinking you're such a big boss yet you only drive a Mercedes, I decided to buy you a car!"

Indeed.

Lin Mo, such a big boss, drives just a Mercedes..

The key is he's had that car for several years and never changed it.

Mainly, Lin Mo indeed has little desire for cars.

Unlike some people who like cars as if they were treasures.

Lin Mo laughed and said: "Boss Yang, that's too extravagant!"

Yang Mi said: "This car was bought in Yanjing; there's no stock here in Mo Du, waiting over a month would be too troublesome." Then she added: "Let's go, you test-drive the car—perfect for taking me and Re Ba for a spin."

After saying that, she put her arm around Re Ba's shoulders.

This is indeed the only presentable gift she could come up with.

Too expensive, she can't afford.

Cheap ones aren't presentable.

Moreover..

Coincidentally, Lin Mo doesn't have a luxury car.

Giving him a Rolls-Royce is just perfect.

"Then I'll thank Boss Yang!"

"No, if thanks are due, I should be thanking you!"

She's been following Lin Mo behind, earning how much money?

This big effort is only a few million.

Even Yang Mi feels it's a bit insufficient.

Thinking to wait a while, then buy Re Ba a gift instead.

Mainly, she didn't know what to give Lin Mo.

But Re Ba, though.

She knows exactly what this girl likes.

Got in the car.

Lin Mo, being an experienced driver, took the two for a drive.

Actually, they live in the same residential complex.

It's conveniently on the way.

Lin Mo didn't forget to tell Yang Mi: "Boss Yang, thanks for the gift, I really like it!"

"As long as you like it~!"

What Yang Mi fears is that Lin Mo won't be satisfied.

Fortunately, fortunately.

This gift was well delivered.

Here.

The car is parked in the garage.

After returning home, Re Ba linked arms with Lin Mo and said: "Mo Ge, how is it? Mi Jie is still very thoughtful, right!"

"'Mm, it was thoughtful!' Lin Mo smiled and nodded."

"'Mi Jie even called me at first, asking what I like or what I want to buy, and I told her, saying I wanted to give a gift, so why not buy you a car~'"

"'So it was your idea!'"

"'Hehe~!'"

Re Ba is the one who understands Lin Mo best.

She naturally knows exactly what her man likes and dislikes.

Mainly.

She was afraid to tell Yang Mi that the things her man likes are relatively cheap, not that expensive, and Mi Jie would think they're not presentable.

Fortunately, giving a car is the most suitable gift!
